Hi! We are currently attending MTI...which stands for Missionary Training International. It is located in Palmer Lake, Colorado. We are getting ready to begin week number 4 out of the 5 weeks we are going to be here. The first 2 weeks were a program called PILAT. It provides you with many techniques and tools to use when you are learning a new language. We found it helpful and will definitely apply it when we start learning Italian! We are now in a program called SPLICE. It's a pre-field training which focuses on strengthening your skills for cross cultural life and ministry. So far, we really like it and feel like it will be beneficial to us when we arrive on the field. We have also been thankful to attend the program with another member of our team, Brandi Davis. It's been so nice to see her everyday and get to know her better! We have also been able to spend some time with the The Blackburn family who live in nearby Colorado Springs.
Here are some pictures from our trip so far...
Mountains surrounding MTI
This is a little town we visited called Manitou Springs. It's located at the base of Pike's Peak.
Manitou Springs is known for their natural mineral springs. Their are about 12 located all through the town. We found this one and Brandi decided to try it out!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Hope everyone is having a great 2009!
-Brandon and Savannah Eaton
